We're considering providing the Archive 525 MB tape drive in our product offering. Before we do I'd like a sampling of opinions on the comparitive reliability and maturity of the 150 and 525 products. Are there typically many more soft or hard errors with 525 MB system? Is the MTBF comperable? Do you have any problems restoring from backups done on 525 MB media? I have done extended testing in our lab so I have some feel for the product in a controlled environment. Now I'm looking for the sort of things that may jump up and surprise us when we get to customer sites. Anyone with tales to share, either good or bad??? I will post a summary of replies so you may either mail responses or post followup articles. Thanks!!
